UpInTheAyr Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Coventry were excellent to deal with and we've managed to secure some sort of percentage moving forward He revealed "about 15 clubs" have made enquiries about top scorer Lawrence Shankland. "I think Lawrence will just wait until the end of the season," added McCall, who said approaches have come from "Scotland, England and Holland". "Whatever league we're in next season, Liam Smith, Lawrence Shankland, Michael Rose and maybe one other will definitely not be with us next year. That's gutting and it's horrible, but it's football." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only players signed beyond then are Harvie, Ferguson, Docherty and Ecrepont. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Murdoch will most likely be the other one, best midfielder we've had at the club for a long time 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Jaffo Posted January 22, 2019 Author Share Posted January 22, 2019 Grim times.Indeed However a positive spin would be I can’t remember a time where we’ve had so many in demand players. It’s a credit to them and the club in the work that’s been put in. All we can hope for is they give us everything for the next 6 months. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young Eddie Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Will be interesting to see how the players respond on Friday. With Rose going and McCall saying that others will be on their way too the 'once in a generation' group of players already know the team is breaking up. The head says we can expect more adject displays with a lack of fight such as at Auchinleck but the heart hopes they somehow can find the form of earlier in the season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyrExile Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 What’s the chances of tieing up some precontract deals ourselves seeing as though we are a bit more of attractive proposition these days 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was well into double figures last season goal wise and scored some cracking strikes, yet his finishing this season has been generally woeful, especially from the edge of the box. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the players care about the club and the supporters then they'll go out for the second half of the season and try and win the league for us before some inevitably depart. However the more typical Ayr United thing to be would be to royally f**k it up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rb123! Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 I take it the funds which the board and Cameron have made available to McCall don't cover the amount of he needs to make these couple of creative player signings hinted, hence why he needs to loan out McGuffie and possibly someone else. This to me would possibly suggest Scougall might be one of the targets since he's apparantly on £2k a week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superhursty7 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I can't see us affording £2k a week and St Johnstone want him off there wage bill so he's going to have to take a hell of a wage cut to play for us, usually I'm one of the positive so called happy clappers but can't see much to be positive about at the moment apart from we are unlikely to go back down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My sentiments exactly, in the space of a few weeks I've gone from thinking that we had a great chance of winning this league or at the very least guaranteed a play off place and potentially a great Scottish Cup run, to now waking up to the nightmare of pumped out the cup by a local junior side, a mystery injury crisis affecting most of our key players, others jumping ship to sign pre-contracts elsewhere, players going out on loan with no replacements and the recent form of relegation candidates. Somerset seems to have gone from a field of dreams to a place of nightmares. Hopefully I'm just being over dramatic and blowing a couple of bad results out of all proportion, but I'm really not so sure............ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a postponement wouldn't be the worst thing to happen and would give us an extra week to regroup and get our players fit. Still, if we get the go ahead the negativity is getting chucked out the window and hopefully we'll get right back on track. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ftk Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Everybody thought we were shit hot after the Dundee Utd 5-0 game. Then everybody thought we were just shit after the Auchinleck game. Truth is we are somewhere inbetween. We have a small squad and when everybody is fit can beat anybody in the league. Get the injured players back quickly and sign a few and its game on again! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are any of these likely ?? How's big Nade doing at Troon ????? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
